Four men walk away from Honor Farm

FRENCH CAMP – Authorities are searching for four men who walked away from the minimum-security Honor Farm in French Camp early this morning, including one AB109 inmate, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.

The inmates escaped from the facility about 6:30 a.m., said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. Three of the inmates, described as Honor Farm kitchen workers, were last seen getting into a silver four-door sedan just outside the facility's open gates, authorities said. The vehicle fled north on South Wolfe Road, officials said.

The inmates were identified as Dennis Jamel King, Alexander Duvalle Williams, Robert Michael Baguindo Jr., and Henry Lee Heath. King was being held at the Honor Farm under Assembly Bill 109, which calls for most non-serious, non-sexual, nonviolent offenders to be housed at county jail facilities instead of state prisons, Garcia said.
